Day 61/62 - 2/14 & 2/16/12

Back for some more much anticipated updates! Lately, I've been doing the majority of the fab other than a few welds. Which is good, because Dad doesn't really need more practice! Anyway, on the 14th, I made the 2 patch panels for the holes I made in the upper quarters to get rid of rust. It looks a little easier than it is, I also made the holes irregular shapes so that made it more fun!

This is the third piece I made because each time I made one I ground it too small and you want kind of tight fit.

I made two of these pieces. Lots of trips to the bench grinder and disk sander here! I'll weld both these pieces flush in the next few days.

I also made the initial cut into the roof on the black line straight part and cut it away from the remaining channel in the center of the opening. We're getting there!

Lots of action here from today, the 16th. Got the lower curvy part cut out and ground down. The three different cylinder disks I used and the old the metal. As well as Dad just so happened to be there during the picture fitting his hood for his '34 coupe.

More to come this weekend, Presidents Day so more fab time!
